VI. Graduate Program Requirements: 30 Hours

The following requirements must be met for the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering degree. Courses can be used to fulfill requirements in more than one category. Requirement categories are not mutually exclusive.   

1. Completion of 30 graduate credit hours, including up to 9 credit hours taken as dual credit.  
2. At least 24 of the 30 graduate credit hours must be BIE department courses numbered 6000 or above.
3. At least 9 of the 30 graduate credit hours must be BIE department courses numbered 7000 or above.
4. At least 6 of the total 30 graduate credit hours must be approved courses in mathematics, statistics, or computer science.
5. A maximum of 4 credit hours of independent study may count toward the degree requirement of 30 graduate credit hours.  
6. Students may choose a thesis option or a 30 credit hours advanced course work option. The thesis option consists of a research project satisfying all requirements of the Graduate School. The final report (thesis) must be completed and successfully defended in an oral examination before the major committee. Up to 8 credit hours of BME 7950 Thesis Research in Biomedical Engineering, may count toward the degree requirement of 30 graduate credit hours.
